1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
2	Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (1998) more music like this by Lucinda Williams It isn't surprising that Lucinda Williams' level of craft takes time to assemble, but the six-year wait between Sweet Old World and its 1998 follow-up, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, still raised eyebrows. The delay stemmed both from label difficulties and Williams' meticulous perfectionism, the latter reportedly over a too-produced sound and her ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.34!
3	O (2003) more music like this by Damien Rice Magnificently packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book filled with personal artwork, lyrics, and photos, Damien Rice's debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs ... see all copies from $9.65! new only from $16.49!
4	Living With Ghosts (1996) more music like this by Patty Griffin Patty Griffin's major-label debut was actually recorded as a demo cassette. A&M executives were so impressed with this raw display of talent that they snatched up the tape and threw it, unaltered, into the marketplace. Griffin recorded her songs exactly as she performed them live, armed with only her acoustic guitar and a voice that can rattle ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
5	West (2007) more music like this by Lucinda Williams The title of West reflects the change in Lucinda Williams' life as she moved to Los Angeles. It also reflects what had been left behind. Williams is nothing if not a purely confessional songwriter. She continually walks in the shadowlands to bring out what is both most personal yet universal in her work, to communicate to listeners directly and ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $13.27!
6	The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary [Warner/Rhino] (2005) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary It speaks well for the continued viability of their catalog (probably second only to Bob Dylan's among '60s folk artists) that this is only the sixth compilation ever done on Peter, Paul & Mary's music in four decades of musical activity -- and since one of the others was a Readers' Digest mail-order release and two of the others were done for ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
7	The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964) more music like this by Bob Dylan If The Times They Are a-Changin' isn't a marked step forward from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, even if it is his first collection of all originals, it's nevertheless a fine collection all the same. It isn't as rich as Freewheelin', and Dylan has tempered his sense of humor considerably, choosing to concentrate on social protests in the style of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.00!
8	Diamonds & Rust (1975) more music like this by Joan Baez With the Vietnam War winding down, Joan Baez, who had devoted one side of her last album to her trip to Hanoi, delivered the kind of commercial album A&M Records must have wanted when it signed her three years earlier. But she did it on her own terms, putting together a session band of contemporary jazz veterans like Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.66!
9	Children Running Through (2007) more music like this by Patty Griffin Patty Griffin's raucous second album Flaming Red was a shocking departure from the critically noticed Living with Ghosts. It placed solid, searing rock & roll and big bad drumbeat up against the still developing authority of her voice. On Impossible Dream she married country and her own brand of gospel in an intimate and musically seductive mix. ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.00!
10	Old Crow Medicine Show (2004) more music like this by Old Crow Medicine Show Old Crow Medicine Show is an all-acoustic quintet from four states whose members met in New York City and currently reside in Nash Vegas. Their storied beginnings include a North American cross-continent ramble while they learned their instruments and how to play together, eventually ending up playing on the street in front of the Grand Ole Opry ... see all copies from $8.18! new only from $11.06!
11 view cover	Bringing It All Back Home [Remastered] (2003) more music like this by Bob Dylan With Another Side of Bob Dylan, Dylan had begun pushing past folk, and with Bringing It All Back Home, he exploded the boundaries, producing an album of boundless imagination and skill. And it's not just that he went electric, either, rocking hard on "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Maggie's Farm," and "Outlaw Blues"; it's that he's exploding with ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Peter, Paul and Mommy (1969) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary This particular reissue gets a lower audio rating because of a general music mix that comes across as far too busy, between the usual guitars (picked with folky enthusiasm), the vocal arrangements (often with children incorporated), and the addition of not only acoustic bass (heard before on the group's albums), but banjo, autoharp, hammer ... see all copies from $7.31! new only from $14.83!
13 view cover	Tracy Chapman (1988) more music like this by Tracy Chapman Arriving with little fanfare in the spring of 1988, Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album became one of the key records of the Bush era, providing a touchstone for the entire PC movement while reviving the singer/songwriter tradition. And Tracy Chapman is firmly within the classic singer/songwriter tradition, sounding for all the world as if it ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.65!
14 view cover	Wide Open Spaces (1998) more music like this by Dixie Chicks The Dixie Chicks spent the first half of the '90s toiling away on the independent bluegrass circuit, releasing three albums on small labels, before sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison decided to revamp their sound in 1995, adding Natalie Maines as their lead singer and, in the process, moving the group away from bluegrass and toward a major ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
15 view cover	Till the Sun Turns Black (2006) more music like this by Ray LaMontagne If it weren't for his singing voice, so full of smoke and ether, one would be hard-pressed to believe that Till the Sun Turns Black was made by the same man who recorded Trouble just two years prior to it. Ray LaMontagne takes a brave leap from the rootsy singer/songwriter material of his stellar debut album and goes nearly 180 degrees. Once more ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
16 view cover	The Best of Leonard Cohen (1975) more music like this by Leonard Cohen The Best of Leonard Cohen samples 12 of the many highlights from the singer's first four studio LPs. With a heavy emphasis on the debut, Songs of Leonard Cohen, and its follow-up, Songs From a Room, the set includes such masterpieces as "Suzanne," "So Long, Marianne," and "Bird on the Wire," as well as later efforts including "Chelsea Hotel" and ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Greatest Stories Live (1976) more music like this by Harry Chapin Recorded in November 1975, Greatest Stories Live showcases the legendary live performance styles of acoustic troubadour and noted activist Harry Chapin. Recorded over three nights on-stage in California, the double-LP set features all the hits as well as a few notable album cuts that put the musician's musical and personal skills out on the line ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $11.11!
18 view cover	Colors of the Day: The Best of Judy Collins (1972) more music like this by Judy Collins An excellent collection of some of the best tracks from Judy Collins' early Elektra albums, Colors of the Day will both entertain and leave you wanting more. Lovingly programmed (it leads off with her excellent country-pop hit "Someday Soon," an Ian Tyson classic), this is Collins at her finest. Earlier explorations into folk-pop ("Both Sides Now" ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $11.11!
19 view cover	The Best of Arlo Guthrie (1977) more music like this by Arlo Guthrie Had he not done anything else of significance, Arlo Guthrie could have built his entire career on the 18-minute folk/protest/novelty piece "Alice's Restaurant Massacree." And while early on it seemed as if this sort of humorous, hippie storytelling would be his metier, "Woody's son" slowly began to develop into a serious artist in his own right. ... see all copies from $4.65! new only from $4.65!
20 view cover	Infamous Angel (1992) more music like this by Iris Dement A remarkable debut, Infamous Angel established Iris DeMent as one of the greatest artists of her generation. With her gift for poignant, confessional songwriting and a voice that makes raw beauty seem like a brand new thing, she invokes the elemental magic of the Carter Family while sounding as fresh and modern as John Prine (who, not surprisingly ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $16.85!
21 view cover	John Prine (1971) more music like this by John Prine A revelation upon its release, this album is now a collection of standards: "Illegal Smile," "Hello in There," "Sam Stone," "Donald and Lydia," and, of course, "Angel from Montgomery." Prine's music, a mixture of folk, rock, and country, is deceptively simple, like his pointed lyrics, and his easy vocal style adds a humorous edge that makes ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
22 view cover	Adieu False Heart (2006) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt/Ann Savoy Few artists in popular music have roamed as restlessly as Linda Ronstadt. Since the mid-'80s, when she broke away from her sure-fire SoCal pop/rock formula long enough to team with the legendary arranger Nelson Riddle for a trio of pop standards albums, Ronstadt has continued to diversify: a couple of Spanish-language albums here, a kids' set ... see all copies from $11.43! new only from $14.22!
23 view cover	Flaming Red (1998) more music like this by Patty Griffin Patty Griffin's Living with Ghosts was an impressive debut, but its spare acoustic arrangements occasionally made it sound more like a sketchbook than a completed album. Shortly after its release, her label commissioned a new version of "Let Him Fly," which matched her vocals to a full live band. Satisfied with the results, Griffin decided to ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
24 view cover	Fair & Square (2005) more music like this by John Prine Never an artist known to push himself harder than necessary, 2005's Fair and Square was John Prine's first album in five years, and his first set dominated by new material since 1995's Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings (a live album, a set of covers and a collection of new recordings of older material helped fill the gap). Of course, Prine had a fair ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $15.28!
25 view cover	Ten Years Together: The Best of Peter, Paul & Mary (1970) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary For many years, this 13-song collection was the best introduction to Peter, Paul & Mary that one could find. Not only did it contain all of the trio's hits, but it was also, until 2005's Warner/Rhino compilation The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary, the closest thing to a cross-section of the group's sound that existed. From the acoustic folk sound ... see all copies from $3.48! new only from $17.75!
